Stump killer is usually tordon (blue or green liquid). After the stump is dead, you still need to drill it out and pour stump rot (often pure potassium nitrate AKA saltpetre) in, then wait a year.
Otherwise, yeah - you still need to chop out the roots.

I figured. Thanks for the guidance!

What kind of trees are y'all fighting?

Leucaena leucocephala and Neem trees mostly.

I am planning on replacing these with a variety of fruit trees, but am also debating on not pulling them out of the ground to keep the soil from eroding. I think I may prefer killing them so I don't have to keep running a chainsaw every year to cut them back again.

The ones I have been working on were really, really dirty. The dirt here is filled with iron, so it stains everything red. A lot of wealthier folks just toss out stuff that a lot of less wealthy folks can afford. I found a 4 stroke Honda weed trimmer at the dump that someone put two-stroke mix in. Obviously it did not run right, so I took it home, cleaned it up, flushed it, and it was good to go. Found it a good home.

Here is another one I did today. You can kinda see the before/after.

WOW A MODERN FART MASTERPIECES! The convuluted swirls and twirl that oppose and frenemy conflict where parts ally and fight each other along with extra over cord and metal thingy that floats above it all trying to show inspiration of those set in their way, And the lower peaceful piece of order and pretty field of flowery flower power showing of what happens when you give peace a chance!

Kill them but don't dig up the stumps?
Then plant the new trees between the stumps so their roots can hold the soil aft the others rot out?
 
I am combining the little Eonotig and the XMT304 (the blue one in the background) onto one push cart to save floor space. That means I need a third level above to accommodate the wire feeder ensemble. The 3rd tier frame work is done, it just needs some sheet metal for a floor, then I can start stacking it full of gear.

I picked up this handmade cart with the Econotig some years ago. The guy did a real clean job and I only needed to modify it to my taste.
 
The 240 is the one that's been catching my eye, so I went with that one. The 200 is pretty dang cool though.
 
I like the extra length on the 240 for chopping. I hope I can adapt to sharpening the 2 different angles, haha. Not the best sharpener here.
 
Got my Gerber Dime in today for pocket carry. See how it goes.

That's awesome, and I bet it's got a great Hendrix sound.

I recently ordered another double pedal by DW. I have a few different pedals including a direct drive Mapex, but don't like how it feels. Always had good luck with DW, so it may kick out the Pearl Eliminator single I have been using.

Haha, well.. *I* don't have a great Hendrix sound. 😆

Who's DW? I don't recognize the initials.

DW stands for Drum Workshop, who make pretty nice drums. I have a couple of Pearl sets, and a old Tama in the mainland in my folks attic.

I could never justify spending the coin on a DW kit, but wish I could!

I have been playing in a band since I was a kid, ranging from blues, rock, sludge rock, symphony, and now currently in a cover band. I sometimes freelance for groups that need a drummer as well.

Wish I was good enough for it to be my job. But apparently bills are higher than my talent level!
